Île de la Cite

The Île de la Cité is one of the two natural islands in the Seine and a central part of Paris. Here is the famous Notre-Dame Cathedral, which is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. Despite the current renovations following the 2019 fire, the area continues to attract visitors. You can enjoy the impressive views of the cathedral from the surrounding bridges.

Another highlight of the Île de la Cité is the Sainte-Chapelle, an outstanding example of Gothic architecture with over 15 stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes and allowing light to stream into the interior. The Île is also home to the Conciergerie, which was once a royal palace and later served as a prison during the French Revolution. Visiting the Île de la Cité is not only rich in history but also offers romantic walks along the Seine. Here you will experience the heart of Paris, which combines art, culture and history.
